Study of Ferrochrome Slag's Characteristics and Usage in Embankment and Paving Materials

Abstract

Because of the rapid growth of the population, the advancement of industry and innovation, and the development of commercialization, modern waste materials and resultant yields have increased rapidly in recent decades. With the growing demand on the environment to reduce waste and contamination, extensive research has been conducted to look at all feasible reuse options. Construction waste, blast furnace slag, steel slag, coal fly ash, and bottom ash have all been recommended as alternative materials in bridges, streets, asphalts, businesses, and building construction. In development operations, industrial waste is employed as a halfway substitute for crude resources, saving landfill area and reducing the demand for extraction of specific crude elements. The residue of chrome manufacturing is ferrochrome slag. Seeing slags as a potentially valuable asset rather than a waste has ecological and economic benefits. The limited area available and monetary cost repercussions of the slag heaps have influenced the executives at ferrochrome providing companies. Ferrochrome slag is used financially in the street and development sectors all over the world, including in South Africa, India, Norway, Turkey, East Europe, China, Sweden, and the United States. South Africa, India, Norway, Turkey, East Europe, China, Sweden, and the United States all employ ferrochrome slag for financial purposes in the street and development sectors. This material has lately been attempted in concrete, and also totals in the solid industry, block manufacturing, and asphalt development as a building fill. This report gives an overview of recent developments in the use of ferrochrome slag in various structural design applications, such as street building and the bond and solid industries.
